Thanks for posting this. I can't take a picture of you when you're actually on the bike as you're gone before I can take the pic.Is this Antrim Lake?Haw far did you guys ride to?The Cannondale's looking good.

Looking goo, Cannondale, lake, and all.Is the 20 mile anything to write home about, though?How has endurance changed from the other physical activity, lifting and such?What happened to your gray Specialized?

-32 blocks is a good distance, esp, if half of the distance is uphill. SLC is great for bikers. I always say so to my people here in flat Central Ohio.-It is Antrim Lake. We usually go up by the Delaware exit up North, you know, past Worthington.-Right. 20 miles is not that great a distance especially for people who use the bike on a daily basis. It is, however, a nice bundle of miles for the weekend. Endurance-wise, yes. I find lifting most helpful especially since I tend to ride my Cannondale standing and, as a result, I rely much on my upper body. The Gray Specialized was stolen right outside my office last year. It was a sad loss. But the Cannondale has been good.-The trails, whether you're going South or North, offer very nice vistas, greenery, and well-maintained paths. If you'd rather do a heavy-duty ride, however, I'll recommend Alum Creek. We did that a few months ago and I believe I blogged it.
